If they're producing a lot of fruit, but all small, you can try trimming some of the smaller branches (make sure you seal where you cut with tree rubber so they don't grow back) and just keeping the big producing branches. That will help concentrate the tree's production resources to a smaller amount of fruit.
you need to thin your fruit manually, if there are large clusters of apples pull off all but 2 to a cluster, peaches should be thinned to 6 in ches apart, no more than 3-4 peaches per branch, i work in an orchard & this is what we do to get larger fruit, its very labor intensive
Regularly pruned trees are much more apt to producing quality fruit. Fruiting buds tend to form on limbs that have adequate air circulation and light infiltration, which is your goal when pruning.

You have to pick off the blossoms or early fruit so that fewer grow, but they grow larger.

Hello Catf; To grow larger fruits, I fertilize my fruit trees more during the year. By doing this, I have noticed a marketed increase.
I hope that this helps you!! Take Care!
I have found if I pull off the ones that are two or three together nd leave only one, it helps the fruit to grow to size.
